When Russel et al. first introduced the term ‘super-recogniser’ (SR), they observed that ‘super-recognizers are about as good as many developmental prosopagnosics are bad‘, with regard to both face perception and recognition (Russell et al., 2009). As Meike Ramon reports in her Viewpoint in this issue (Ramon, 2021), SRs have since been the focus of considerable media attention and some 25 papers. Still, the term lacks a uniform operational definition, risking the comparison of apples and oranges. Thus, Ramon proposes a clear rule for qualifying someone as SR, which is precise enough for standardisation but at the same time affords flexibility. She also makes a strong case for open research practices and documentation, underscored by her exemplary presentation of 70 cases.

当拉塞尔等人。在首次引入“超级识别者”（SR）这个术语时，他们观察到“超级识别者与许多发展性面相失认症一样好”，在面部感知和识别方面（Russell et al., 2009）。正如 Meike Ramon 在本期的观点（Ramon，2021 年）中所报道的那样，SR 一直是媒体和大约 25 篇论文的焦点。尽管如此，该术语仍缺乏统一的操作定义，冒着比较苹果和橙子的风险。因此，Ramon 提出了一个明确的规则来将某人限定为 SR，该规则对于标准化来说足够精确，但同时提供了灵活性。她还为开放的研究实践和文档提供了强有力的案例，她对 70 个案例的示范性展示突出了这一点。
